Bob - I got your pm... Isaac will have his birthday before Charlie, so I'm afraid I'm not a good one to ask about parties. I'm having trouble thinking of what to do myself!
I hope some teeth are hiding inconspicuously, as opposed to the alternative, Christy, Sorry that Matilda is sick. Hope she feels better much soon. I hear you on the doctor thing - I think that some doctors (certainly not all) sort of rush the appointments and don't really get to the cause of the problem, preferring to prescribe the recommended meds. I never take Charlie to a doctor that doesn't have kids him/herself - I think it's only when you have children of your own that you really understand how scary it is when your child is sick. Hope things sort themselves out for you - and your neck too! You poor thing.
Wow - Asha on full cow's milk! Bet that will make life easier. Sounds like she's powering along. I know that having full cream milk in my fridge when Charlie goes on it will be such a temptation. I usually have skim, but the odd time I have full cream I LOVE it. If I could I'd have extra creamy. Mmmm...
Big news... Charlie slept from SEVEN to SEVEN last night! We usually put him to bed around 6.30, and he normally wakes up anywhere between 4.30 and 6 for a drink. I always put him back to bed, but this morning he slept straight through! I hope this is a sign of things to come, although I'm not holding my breath. Actually, while I remember, one weird thing he has started to do is put his fingers so far down his throat that he gags - do any other bubs do this? How do you stop it?
We're going to my brother's girlfriend's 21st tonight. Although, by the end of the night she will be my almost sister-in law! He's proposing to her in front of everyone at the party. It's all very exciting! Will let you know how it goes.
One last thing (before I stop this epic post!)... could you guys please give me some ideas for snacks? Charlie's usual food routine is as follows...
Fruit for brekkie (apples/pears...)
Rusks (homemade) for snacks
Avocado or banana on toast for lunch
Veggies and minced meat for dinner
Any ideas? I had also been giving him sultanas to snack on, but I want to try and limit his sugar intake... the child of a friend of mine had to get two teeth completely removed and some other major dental work done when she was four, so I'm a bit paranoid about giving Charlie too much sugar.
Anyway, sorry for the big post! Hope you're all well.
